Easy enough to follow if your’e a kniiter. For those who don’t know,and assuming there are no shapings- to finish break off wool, approx 10″. Using darning needle, thread through stitches and pull tight. (This is top of beanie.)Overstitch once to secure, then fold lengthwise and sew through stitches along back to make back seam. Secure wool by knotting through last stitch. Cut off surplus wool.
